Sage Espresso Machine - The Bambino Plus

A Sage Bambino Plus espresso machine with a 1.9-litre tank, 1600 W and a 15-bar Italian pump, in the most compact body Sage makes. It has no integrated grinder — the machine brews and steams only, which keeps the footprint small and lets you pair it with whatever grinder you prefer.

Who it suits

For offices, hotel rooms and small meeting spaces wanting real espresso in minimal counter space, paired with a separate grinder. Buying machine and grinder separately is usually the better path anyway: grinder quality affects the cup more than machine features, and a separate grinder can be upgraded independently.

Common questions

Are Sage machines commercial equipment?
No. Sage builds prosumer machines for homes, offices and low-volume settings, and the warranties reflect that. They produce genuine espresso and suit a hotel room, a meeting room or a tasting counter, but they are not built for a cafe service line, where a commercial machine with a plumbed supply and per-group boilers is the correct specification.

Does it include a grinder?
No. It brews and steams only, so you will need a separate grinder. That keeps the footprint small and lets you choose the grinder.

Is 15 bar better than 9 bar?
No. 9 bar is the reference extraction pressure; 15 bar is the pump's maximum rating, and machines regulate down to around 9 bar at the group. It is a specification, not an advantage.

Can it serve a small cafe?
No. It is a prosumer machine for offices and low-volume settings, not a service line.

How big is the water tank?
1.9 litres, which suits a handful of drinks between refills rather than continuous service.
